I don’t.  I don’t have too many.  I have all of Series 1 and 2 of the NECA 2 packs.  Except for the Casey Jones, which I still need.  I have an unpunched 1989 Casey Jones, and a few other miscellaneous figs.  Only the stuff I really liked when I was a kid.

I got both of them from a shop near me.  The Thor has been out for years.  They just released Surfer within the last month.  

I just bought both online!!  Amazing.

I really like this cover.

I told the story somewhere around here of having met a guy probably 30-35 years ago who bought this issue at an LCS but couldn't really afford it and offered it to me at the price he paid - $40.  At that time, I hadn't spent that much on any comic so I turned him down.  Just mind-boggling.

Anyway, water over the dam.  In today's mail courtesy of @ft88

Do you submit any of your books? I don't think I've seen you post any slabs. They all look great anyway. That goes double for the FFs!

I have purchased slabs (only about 10) but have never submitted.  I "returned" to this hobby only toward the end of 2020 after decades away, so "slab" and the grading system used by CGC is completely new territory to me.  In the long run, I probably will submit some books, esp ASM 129 and IH 181, but I want to wait until things settle down a bit.

By and large, the books I bought between 1972 and 1974 were either roughly treated by their previous owner or in some cases by me.  The "quality" of the book didn't mean anything to me.  "Having" a book did.  Unfortunately.  I wised up a little - at least for books I bought off the newsstand - about 1975.  This time around I'm trying to buy quality, which means expensive of course.

This echoes most of my hobby, even to this day.

Any grade is better than not having a sought-after book.

It's new territory for alot of people... the prevailing theory going around is the hotter the market gets the more dings and dents get found by the graders  

9.6 is the new 9.8 and so on

I have double-posted and even triple-posted. Just in case, I have an attorney on retainer.
